Keeper pledges future

Swansea goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt has committed his future to the club after signing a new four-year contract.

The Swedish star has struggled for action since he joined the Swans last summer from Heerenveen, making just four appearances as Lukasz Fabianski dominated the number one jersey.

Nordfeldt still had two years remaining on his deal, but Swansea have taken the decision to tie him to a longer contract, and the 27-year-old was more than happy to oblige.

“I am happy to have signed,” Nordfeldt told the club’s official website. “To be fair I didn’t play that much last year and for the club to give me this deal shows a big commitment.

“I am happy with the confidence the club have shown in me and I hope I can pay it back.

“Everybody knows the situation with Lukasz at the moment – he is doing well. It has been tough for me, but I will keep fighting and pushing to get the spot and hopefully that motivates him to keep sharp as well.”
